Guest Reviews

• Ohad Moshe (10/5): -
• Clemens (10/5): Vollkommen zufrieden , mit tollem Sento. - Arigato Goizamasu! Vielen Dank! Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit im Murataya und im unterschätzen Kanazawa. Gerne kommen wir wieder. Sehr freundliches Personal und das Japanische Frühstück war köstlich. Jeden Tag gabs kostenfreien Tee aus der Region. 1000Dank. Ich muss jetzt schon weinen , wenn ich weiß das ich Japan bald verlassen muss. Danke.
• Ulrich (10/5): Wunderschönes traditionelles Hotel in Superlage. - Wahrscheinlich das schönste traditionelle japanische Hotel, in dem ich bei insgesamt fünf Reisen gewohnt habe. Sehr schönes Tatami-Zimmer mit gut gepolstertem Futon; freundlicher und immer hilfreicher Service; sehr zentrale Lage, von der fast alle Sights bequem zu Fuß oder mit dem Bus zu erreichen sind. Sehr viele Restaurants in unmittelbarer Umgebung. Dabei völlig ruhig. Perfekt! Höchstens das westliche Frühstück könnte noch reichhaltiger werden; das japanische war sehr gut und reichlich.
• Nicole (9/5): - It was such a pleasure staying in such a wonderful traditional ryokan. The bathhouse was really wonderful and we never had to wait to use it! The local area too is absolutely amazing - the restaurants nearby are a must. The beds were so comfortable along with the super comfortable kimonos provided which are very handy when using the bathhouse.

• Amanda (10/5): Amazing traditional Japanese hotel, best experience ever - The best stay we have had in our Japan trip! We wanted a traditional Japanese hotel experience and I feel like we got so much more. The staff was super kind and helpful, the house is well preserved and decorated - it truly feels like walking back in time. It had everything we needed and it very well located, close to shops, restaurants and bus stops. Could not recommend enough!!!!
• eleonora (8/5): - Ho gradito l'ospitalità, il kimono in camera, l'onsen. Niente
• Patricia (9/5): - Sehr nette GastgeberIn. Hilfsbereit und freundlich. Sehr sauber
• Lloyd (9/5): Fantastic Ryokan, great location - Everything, nothing to fault. Hosts was absolutely amazing and kind. .
• Susan (8/5): Traditional Ryoken. - Very clean facility with nice employees willing to help. Two semi-private soaking tubs to use. Great location in town. This hotel is a very traditional Ryoken with shared bathrooms. No sinks or toilets in the rooms so was a new experience for us. Our room was dark with missing light bulbs and our pillows didn’t have pillow cases.

• Johnathan (10/5): This is what you probably wanted out of Kyoto, but it is here in Kanazawa instead. - Retro luxury in a central location. They were very accommodating to all of our needs.

• Jessica (10/5): - The hosts were welcoming & the place was lovely and peaceful. Great spot for exploring Kanazawa. The ikebana were elegant and beautiful.
• Svetlana (10/5): Kanazawa essential - Spotless clean, family friendly, super caring staff, excellent location to explore Kanazawa
• Francesca (10/5): -
• Kirstie (9/5): A great spot for an authentic Japanese guesthouse experience. - I loved the general feel of the guesthouse. It was like stepping back in time. Very authentic. It was in a great spot for food, shopping and attractions. The hosts were welcoming, friendly and so helpful.
• MARIA DEL CARMEN (8/5): Una estancia agradable - El ryokan es muy auténtico. El matrimonio que regenta el hotel fueron muy amables y el desayuno estuvo genial.
• Garcia lopez (10/5): -
• Anick (9/5): - Belle chambre traditionnelle charmante et confortable. Le thé offert qui était délicieux (Kaga Boutcha) et le gros bidon d'eau chaude qui était remplacé chaque jour. Belles salles de bain traditionnelles. Personnel aimable et aidant, endroit très propre. L'escalier menant à ma chambre était assez pentu, ce qui n'est pas si pratique (surtout avec les sandales fournies qui n'étaient pas très ergonomiques), mais le fait d'avoir un escalier menant à ma chambre seule contribuait au charme de l'endroit. Aussi, les toilettes étaient un peu loin de ma chambre, considérant les escaliers.
• Betsy (8/5): - It was an excellent location. I liked the onsen. Staff were very helpful. The room was very small and felt claustrophobic. As I developed painful knee condition after I booked, perhaps it was not the best sort of place to stay. I couldn't sit on the floor and I found it difficult getting up and down sleeping on futon. This is not the fault of the Ryokan. If I had not developed limited mobility, it would have been a great place to stay. The futon was very comfortable to sleep on. The shared bathroom was on another floor from my bedroom.
• sofiafolini (10/5): Lovely ryokan - Lovely ryokan! The communal baths are really nice! And the staff helpful. The tea in the room was delicious. Nothing to complain about.
• Katharina (9/5): -
• Selser (8/5): Bueno para el precio - Muy buena ubicación y estilo clásico japonés. Buen precio para la calidad. Bastante tenebroso de noche por la propia estética del hotel. Los que gestionan el hotel en booking colocoron mal la ubicación lo que hizo que vaya a otro "Murataya" (un restorán). Esto me hizo gastar 20 dólares del mes, que el hotel debiera haberse ofrecido a reembolsar, puesto que no es la primera vez que ocurría.
• Marina (10/5): Authentic japanese home feeling - I loved the friendly hosts and the entire authentic feeling that we experienced at the property. And the onsen, onsen is amazing, the perfect end of each day in Kanazawa. Everything was amazing.
• Kate (10/5): Charming; made Kanazawa more special - It was beautifully clean and presented. The futon was the comfiest I’ve slept on, far more than more expensive Ryokans! The shared Japanese bath was amazing, so hot and perfect to get a good nights sleep Nothing
• Baptiste (10/5): Excellent séjour. Établissement charmant avec des gérants au top. -
• Felipe (8/5): -
• H.C. Sanatha (9/5): Het was top 😊👍🏻 - De kamer was wonderschoon. Het hele huis is mooi, oud met veel hout, smaakvol groen en aandacht voor de mooie dingen. Zoals frisse bloemen. Het is heel schoon, de ons n is heet en mooi. De staf zorgt goed voor het huis. Je voelt de liefde. Wij hebben 2 keer het Japanse ontbijt besteld. Voedzaam en lekker! De ligging is zeer goed, net naast het oude samurai district. De bushalte is meteen om de hoek en toch is het heel stil. Wij komen hopelijk nog een keer terug. Een van onze top adressen in Japan. Veel dank voor de goede zorgen.
• Omer (10/5): - A very nice and cute family-run Ryokan, with traditional Japanese room and shared bath (which can be also used privately). Very central and close to most points of interest in Kanazawa. We will definitely come back next time we are in Kanazawa.

• Rahul (10/5): - Very good location with supermarkets, restaurants, and bars everywhere. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. None
• Eduardo (9/5): - Muy agradable y bien situado, llevado por una familia encantadora.
• Daniel (10/5): -
• Alistair (10/5): Affordable ryokan experience - A tatami mat room and evening Japanese bath in a ryokan is a great experience. The welcome was warm with some English spoken. Beautiful small Japanese garden in the centre of the building. Lots of eating and drinking options a 5 minute walk away.
• Nalin (10/5): -
• Daniel (10/5): Anbefaler dette steder til både venner, par og familie. Vi er meget godt fornøyde - Meget vennlige personale, perfekt beliggenhet, nydelige fasiliteter. Kunne være lytt utenfor på kvelden, men det var ikke et stort problem.
• Yannis (10/5): - Great location near the Kanazawa castle (~15min by foot), and you also have really nice quality/price restaurants within 100 meters from the hotel. The hotel itself was super clean, with helpful staff. The traditionnal room was clean with a heater/AC in case you need it. Even though the structure is located at the center, I never heard a sound in my room so was able to sleep very well. The toilets and bathes were also clean, with the latter providing the essential tools for body and hygiene. I really enjoyed my stay here
• Kai Lin (10/5): - 温馨舒適，但建議大門有密碼鎖會讓人住得更安心！
• Elsa (10/5): Brilliant - would recommend to anyone. - Beautifully designed, comfortable, friendly staff. Just perfect. Nothing
• Roberto (9/5): - Questo Ryokan è ben gestito e vi consente di vivere l'atmosfera di una abitazione in stile giapponese. Ottima la posizione vicina ai principali luoghi di interesse di Kanazawa.
• Lee (9/5): Lovely stay in Kanazawa - Location was ideal and the Japanese breakfast was a great way to start the day Shared facilities weren't for everyone in our group, but the actual facilities (shower, bath) were excellent once you were used to it.
• Daniel (10/5): Excellent - Traditional
• Pascale (9/5): -
• Serena (8/5): -
• Dagmar (10/5): Klassischer Ryokan - Das Frühstück war eher einfach, aber nicht schlecht. Wer es gerne etwas individueller möchte, geht einmal ums Eck in die German Bakery und sucht sich dort etwas Köstliches aus. Wunderschöne Blumengestecke heißen einen im Ryokan willkommen, nettes Personal hilft, das Gepäck ins Zimmer zu bekommen und erklärt, wie das Bad (Gemeinschaftsbad funktioniert). Eine sehr authentische Erfahrung und gut gelegen.
• Daniele (10/5): -
• Eleanor (10/5): Quaint ryokan in a great location - It was so beautiful and had such a charming feel. The old architecture style is rare to see, and to get both a garden and onsen was an amazing bonus! Onsen wasn’t open all night, even though it was just a private bathing room.
• Vahid (10/5): - Die Lage ist zentral, alles zu Fuß erreichbar. Das japanische Bad war sehr gut. Das Personal sehr hilfreich und nett. Das Zimmer ist sehr schön ausgestattet. Der japanische Frühstück ist zu empfehlen und schmeckt sehr gut.
• Marco (10/5): -
• Michael (10/5): -
• Emir (9/5): - First experience at a ryokan. It was really great! The host is super nice and helpful. He gave me a tour and answered all of my questions and was available whenever I needed anything. Not very expensive unlike other ryokans. Great value for money, has a hot bath. Location is very good! I would prefer a private bathroom (it was a bit of a walk to the bathroom) but otherwise, everything was great
• António Pedro (9/5): Great old tradicional house experience in Kanazawa, would stay again if ever come back. - The public bath with hotspring, the staff sympathy, the traditional Japanese style. I was cold (the AC worked well) and noisy but I guess you have to accept it in order to live the experience.
• Raul (10/5): -
• tetsuya (8/5): 金沢らしい古き良き旅館 - 繁華街からすぐそこ あえて言えば古い建物なのでドアの開け閉め音が静かだと聞こえる
• Rishi (8/5): lovely stay in a great location - Excellent location and the staff were pleasant. I found the beds and room very comfortable, and enjoyed the japanese breakfast option. The onsen-style bath was also a brilliant addition! The bedroom had no view from the windows.
• Floriane (9/5): Très bon séjour! - - Le personnel très aimable et serviable, certains parlent anglais. - L’emplacement - La propreté - Le charme de ce ryokan Il n’y a que très peu de douches, ce qui peut rendre cela compliqué lorsque le ryokan est complet mais ce n’est qu’un détail car tout le reste était parfait!
• Adam (10/5): - Traditional Ryoken with very attentive service Nothing not to like
• Julie (10/5): - Très jolie guesthouse, calme et agréable. Merci à nos hôtes pour leur accueil. Rien

• Sophie (10/5): -
• Misha (10/5): Fantastic location, cozy room and unique experience. - We loved our stay! The staff were all really friendly! The check-in was thorough. Beds were comfy and the whole place was well heated. The decor is cozy and unique. I loved the different colours throughout the house. We paid for the Japanese breakfast one morning which was delicious and filled us up for so long! Absolutely loved staying here and would definitely stay here again.
• Emma (10/5): Chaleureux et charmant ! Le personnel est si gentil - Le charme de l’hôtel, la chambre avec des super futons, les onsen après une grosse journée de visite dans le froid de l’hiver J’ai tout aimé
• Lorenzo (9/5): -
• Jessica (10/5): -
• Ikra (7/5): Dated building but helpful staff. - Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Facilities are clean. Simple breakfast options available. Fine for a short stay to experience a transitional Japanese house with hostel-like bathroom facilities. Affordable laundry facilities available. Good value for money. No lift facilities if you have lots of luggage as it is an old building. Sink area of toilets are open/not gender segregated. While the property is old, the building and its facilities are dated and some things could use updating.
• natsumi (10/5): おばあちゃんの家のような安心感 - お風呂は男女で分かれておらず、大きいお風呂か小さいお風呂の2種類があってそれを個人がそれぞれ利用するスタイルでした（どちらも鍵付き）。他の人の目を気にせずにのんびりお風呂に入れたところがすごく良かったです。朝風呂も最高でした。
• Thomas (10/5): -
• Francesca Romana (10/5): Ryocan Kanazawa - Ottima posizione, a pochi passi dai principali punti di interesse. Personale magnifico, super gentile e disponibile. Camere complete di tutto, futon molto comodi! Menzione d’onore agli onsen che sono esclusivamente per uso privato, tutto infonde una gran pace e tranquillità. Niente
